We managed four winters of daily school run, and loved the snow!

Impressive attitude, just getting on with it.

Enjoyed that, thanks for the link.

No helmets, no hi-vis, no lights and no problems from drivers. Must be lovely there.

Didn't seem to be any studs either.

Looking at those photos, I reckon that's mostly dry snow. On the continent it gets proper cold and you get a very different kind of surface to the usual British freeze/ thaw/ freeze wet slush over ice horror. We had a really cold spell locally a couple of years back with about 4inches of snow. I rode a ten mile stretch of canal towpath and the difference in surface was a revelation, more like crisp fine sand than what I have been used to think of in the damp south west, as 'snow' Studs not necessary, tyres were the almost slick Big Apples, and the ride, apart from a few squirrelly bits over some frozen mud ruts, was entirely slip free.

3 wheels rather makes a significant difference to trying it with two wheels

Must be great living in a place where most people cycle and have no problems from cars
